On average, 20% of people in American churches do all the serving and giving. What if 100%…?

AUDACITY: “Bold In Generosity” [PODCAST]

What would our lives look like if we all applied God’s principles on giving? On an average, it’s about 20% of the people in most churches who do all the serving and giving. What could happen if 100% of FCCers all participated in giving and serving? What could our church look like? What kind of impact could that have on our community? All of our bold plans and audacious ideas will be meaningless if we don’t learn to be a people of bold generosity.

AUDACITY: “Boldness in Adversity” [PODCAST]

February 7, 2012 in Chattanooga, Church, Podcast, Teaching Series

Everyone has a plan. An idea. A dream. Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” That’s why plans and ideas alone don’t change the world. People who change the world are those who learn how to boldly navigate their way through adversity without losing heart or losing their vision. Do you have boldness in the face of adversity? You can.

How a man treats those hostile toward him can often reveal how faithful he will be to those closest to him.

November 18, 2011 in Podcast, Teaching Series

Loyalty is a forgotten virtue in our world today. If loyalty should be found anywhere, it certainly should be found in the Body of Christ. The Church is Christ’s expression in the world today but we can’t look like Jesus if we aren’t loyal like Jesus. The true weight of loyalty can be measured in how a person treats their enemies or traitors. How was David loyal to Saul? How was Jesus loyal to Judas? How a man treats those hostile toward him can often reveal how faithful he will be to those closest to him.

Masquerade pt.2: No More Condemnation (Podcast and Next Steps)

October 10, 2011 in Next Steps, Podcast, Small Group Discussion, Teaching Series

Introduction: In our Masquerade series, we’ve been learning that CONVICTION is intended to change our future, whereas, CONDEMNATION is intended to punish our past. If we are to live victorious in the spirit and life that Jesus offers us, we must learn how to courageously deal with condemnation. Failure is an event, not a person. When others try to brand us over a single failure, or label us by a past sin, we must know who we are in Christ and what kind of future he has scripted over our lives. We must let Christ brand us, not people who point their fingers in accusatory fashion. This takes courage, strength, and a self-dignity that isn’t built on the foundation of our own righteousness, but a solid foundation of who we are because of Jesus’ righteousness. Our personal victories are dependent on our hearing God’s voice and knowing what He thinks about us, not what others speak of us.

Masquerade pt.1: The Guilt Factor (Podcast and Study Outline)

October 6, 2011 in Podcast, Small Group Discussion, Teaching Series

Introduction: Guilt has gotten a bad reputation these days, and understandably so with all the manipulation out there. But we must understand that there are many types of guilt in the Bible. In Masquerade Pt. 1, we hit on two of them: Condemnation and Conviction. CONDEMNATION is intended to punish our past, whereas, CONVICTION, is intended to change our future. Our becoming fully alive lies not in our ability to shun guilt altogether, but in our courage to rightly respond to the guilt we are feeling. Read the rest of this entry →

GO! The Story Only You Can Tell (Next Steps)

September 26, 2011 in Church, Community Groups, Next Steps, Podcast, Small Group Discussion, Teaching Series

GO! There is a story that only YOU can tell. Throughout scripture, Christ-followers are called to go and tell the Good News of the Gospel and ‘testify’ to the life-changing power of Jesus. Unfortunately, sometimes Christians feel that their stories, in contrast to others, are insignificant or that we need to trump up Hollywood-style, embellished testimonies to help God out a little. Your story is significant not because of the WHAT you have been through; but because of the WHO that is at the center of it. Paul gave a bold, sincere, accurate, and Christ-centered testimony to King Agrippa in Acts 26.
